History of the department

The Department of Ukrainian Folklore Studies named after Academician Filaret Kolessa is a leading educational and research folklore centre in Ukraine.

The Department was established at the Faculty of Philology of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in 1990.  The teaching staff and students develop the university traditions of Ukrainian Folklore Studies, started by the Department of Oral Literature of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Ukrainian (Secret) University in Lviv (1921–1923) and continued by the Department of Folklore Studies and Ethnography of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (1939–1947).

When the major “Folklore Studies” was introduced at the Department in 1995, an educational complex for scholarly, theoretical and practical training of specialists in Folklore Studies was gradually established in which an important place was given, in particular, to the collection of information: the formation of knowledge and skills of folkloristic work in the course of field research. Today the Department trains specialists of three educational degrees (Bachelors, Masters, PhDs) in the area of specialization “Folklore Studies” (“Ukrainian Folklore Studies”).

The teaching staff of the Department conducts a wide range of theoretical, methodological and practical research in the field of Folklore and Folklore Studies: the history of folklore, the history of ethnomusicology, the theory and poetics of folklore, the problems of folklore genres, modern trends in the development of folklore, documenting folklore traditions, Ethnoorganology, problems of interaction of folklore and literature. The Department actively organizes national and international conferences.

The Department is a center of educational and research folklore institutional complex which includes the Laboratory of Folklore Research (founded in 2010), Scientific Library of the Department, Folklore Archive of the Department of Ukrainian Folklore Studies (since 2004), Electronic Archive of Ukrainian Folklore (since 2014).
